Dry Needling [What is it?]

Dry needling (western acupuncture) is a technique used by physiotherapists to relieve pain and improve function. It is the practice of inserting a very fine sterile needle to elicit a biological response. Dry needling is a successful treatment that compliments other treatments used at ActiveForm Physio. To ensure that you are in safe hands when undergoing dry needling as a treatment, your ActiveForm physiotherapist has completed further study and obtained the required qualifications.

Dry Needling [What does it do?]

This biological response can then lead to releasing muscle trigger points. An increase in blood flow also occurs which aids in accelerating the healing process. This in turn reduces pain and helps to restore normal function and mobility.
